Presentation Outline:

Cloud-native geospatial technology is transforming how spatial data is generated, processed, and consumed. However, there’s often a disconnect between those who produce geospatial data and those who need to use it effectively. This talk will explore the challenges and opportunities for data users, demonstrating how cloud-native solutions can streamline workflows, improve collaboration, and drive better decision-making across all types of geospatial workflows and tools.
